The reconstructed training hall made for genin but used by many within Konohagakure was standing beautifully today. The glass-stained windows showed through them a beautiful light. The lights coming into the entrance to the training hall were reflecting in several different colors of the light spectrum. Anyone looking at the windows would note the prominent figures of several Hokage and war heroes of Konohagakure meant to inspire every prospective ninja that would become into this place. Imagines of Izanagi, Hashirama, Tobirama, Tsunade, Kakashi Hatake, and Minato Namikaze would be upon one window while on the other would show Neji Hyuga, Might Gai, Sasuke Uchiha, Asuma Sarutobi, Shikamaru Nara and others would be on another. Each pane after showing a legendary feat these ninjas took to protect the peace the world currently holds.
Within one of the larger sparring rooms meant for exhibitions and showings of skill from ninjas who graduated from the academy to inspire the students was a young girl whose white eyes seemed to be focused on a single point within the room, the door and the only entrance to the room. These white eyes were the famous dojutsu of the Hyuga clan and at that, they were active as she was surveying every point within the room as if expecting someone or something to appear before her. She stood there going through the stances of the gentle fist practicing them and striking at the air. Anyone seeing her could tell she was shadow boxing but against who, no one but her would be able to tell as the image of the girl fighting on the defense was easy to see. As if she was facing a foe far stronger than herself simply being able to defend herself in this shadow box seemed like a hassle while the strikes from her foes could be seen as powerful, swift, and precise. The opponent the young girl was fighting was Hayato Hyuga and the young girl herself was Haia Hyuga. The youngest child of the current Hyuga lord, the Hyuga princess, and someone who trained hard in the shadows to be seen as a humble prodigy in the light. Haia hated showing people her training, especially when she was struggling. This would be a constant as she several times fought against the image of Hayato Hyuga in her head hoping to one day surpass him and every other Hyuga to prove herself and eventually restore the image of her mother's clan.

So this was Konoha. The village where many so-called legends originated from? He had heard stories of this place and its culture (whether from books or word of mouth), but sadly, it was outside his expectations. Maybe he enjoyed the hermit lifestyle he had grown accustomed to during his stay within the temple of the Lotus Society. There were too many people, but to hell with it, not like he was staying around for long. No, he had received a random invitation of challenge from someone hailing from this run-down village and he refused to turn it down. He loved a challenge, but beyond that, he strove to become a renowned Taijutsu master, and to do so he’d hone his skills against what he’d hope to be worthy adversaries across the globe. He wasted no time in discerning the location provided on the invitation, periodically speaking with villagers to make sure he was on the right track. He made sure to keep the conversation short, he didn’t want to draw unnecessary attention or unwanted exchanges.
It wouldn’t take long for the young man to find the building, entering it with no issue, Sentou flashed his invitation to several individuals within the confound until one finally pointed him in the right direction. With a slow approach, Sentou made his way in front of the door, taking a sharp intake of oxygen through his nose before exhaling from his mouth, mending his thoughts before sliding the door open and letting himself inside. Once inside, Sentou would set eyes on his challenger for the first time, as much as he tried to fight the sensation he couldn’t help but give a smirk and a small chuckle at the realization it was a young woman. It wasn’t out of a lack of respect, nor was he looking down on a female combatant, it was quite the opposite. He was intrigued to see a lady stepping up to bat. In a weird way, she reminded him of Youri and how she was the only female training at the Lotus Society. It was slightly relieving to feel a small semblance of simpler times.
“You’re Haia I take it?” Sentou asked as he made his way toward the center of the room, his eyes fixated on her hands had she continued to practice when he arrived. “Says here you were seeking a challenge, what made you single me out?” He asked, raising his sheet of paper. He wore a tan cloak that obscured his figure and clothing from the shoulder down leaving everything above the collar exposed to the naked eye. Whether or not she chose to indulge in conversation, Sentou would slip the invitation away prior to gripping his cloak and tearing it from his person revealing his bare torso and the fact he wore black shorts - his shins, down to his feet, were wrapped in compression gauze while a matching set of crimson prayer beads were adorned around each wrist. He stood at five foot nine and possessed a physique like no other in his age group, lean and cut with an abdomen capable of grating cheese if he found it pleasant. Dropping his mantle to the floor, Sentou continued soaking up what little visual information he could perceive within the room. He made note of the size of the room and the obvious eyes of his challenger. Byakugan, Sentou was somewhat in the know of its capabilities having crossed paths with Oshirama in the past, maybe his trip to Konoha wasn’t a waste after all. This could be fun.

As her training continued Haia would note the approach of footsteps coming from outside, the visual domain of her Byakugan was expanded to note who was approaching her. Only her father and eldest brother knew she was here training and out of the two only her father would come here to give her tips or watch her knowing very well how hard the young girl attempted to hide her training amidst the battle for succession between her siblings. Haia knew very well that she already stood out to them being the only female, but if her skills were shown and her training was to become known to her siblings outside the eldest, she would be seen as a threat coming into the battle late and usurping their rights from them.
Knowing this when Haia saw someone unfamiliar approaching the training room she was in, she would sigh a bit before stopping her shadowboxing training against Hayato Hyuga to appear more presentable to the approaching stranger. As he entered the room Haia looked at him for a moment before listening to him and examining the piece of paper with the challenge letter, "I am sorry to inform you, Sir ??? but that letter is not from me. My father sent that apparently but as he is not around I do not mind facing you, though I may be lacking." She said looking at him before taking up her gentle fist stance and launching her palm forward with a bit of wind chakra launching it which the young man would see coming from her and expanding in a wind-style palm aimed at his chest. Had he not been able to avoid the swift palm coming at him at high speed it would launch him back into the wall leaving a palm-style imprint upon his chest blocking chakra points within his chest.
Had he avoided the strike or not, the second he focused upon the palm at all he would find Haia already following up her attack launching at him and attempting to close the distance her palms aiming to strike both his arms in rapid succession the moment she got close. She would begin to strike the man with the gentle fist 16 palms. The strikes would be swift and precise as she was going to stop his ability to use chakra whether it was to reinforce himself or to strike her. She would take the initiative to strike first and strike hard. Had he attempted to fight back Haia was more than prepared to fight him knowing very few styles that could completely overpower the gentle fist and push Haia into a corner. She wanted to see if this man had one and would be able to further help her growth.

Sentou lifted his head back a tad and cocked a brow as he was taken aback by the news that she hadn’t sent the invitation, but her father. Then who the hell was he and why go to the lengths of getting him, Sentou, involved? Screw it, it didn’t matter, and if this weren’t a sanctioned challenge he didn’t feel obligated to be some kid’s sparring partner. “Heh, sounds like whoever your father is tried to get free lessons out of me. I don’t have time-” Sentou started to say in response but stopped himself sort as he observed her not only slip into a fighting stance but also thrust her palm forward. Whether it was photographic memory or PTSD from his fight with Oshirama when he was going by the name Hayato, Sentou read the way she moved and anticipated the Vaccum Palm. Once a technique that had caught an inexperienced Sentou off guard, he wouldn’t allow that a second time. Fastening his hands into fists, Sentou would circulate chakra throughout his body before surging and releasing it in tandem with a mighty shout ultimately canceling out the concussive blast with a full-body kiai as it came within his vicinity.
Annoyed, yet impressed, by the sudden attempt to strike, Sentou watched as she charged head-first at him as he shifted his stance so that he was leading with his right foot while the left remained the anchor. Was this really necessary? If she hadn’t sent the damn thing why is she pressing the matter? The moment she started to close the distance, extending her arms in an attempt to strike him, Sentou simply leaned his upper body back towards his left to evade her arm’s reach and lifted his right foot in an attempt to counter with a sidekick to Haia’s left knee cap. The kick would punish adversaries who would overextend their boundaries, in this case even shatter one’s kneecap if enough force was put behind the kick, but given he no longer had the heart in him to see this as a challenge he held back. Had this kick landed, it would still hurt severely and Haia most possibly would buckle and collapse without a steady foundation with her charge, but she wouldn’t receive any fractures. If she did in fact fall to the floor, Sentou would take a few steps giving her some space. That was his warning shot. However, if she found it in her to stand back up and charge him again he wouldn’t be so merciful. He’ll see this as an actual challenge against him and he wouldn’t mind explaining to some old man why he beat his child black and blue.
However, on the off chance that his kick to the knee hadn’t disabled Haia even momentarily, Sentou would remain on the defense as he maneuvered his body left and right accordingly to avoid Haia’s alternating assault and study the patterns in which she struck. After successfully dodging seven of the young Hyuga’s blows, Sentou would extend both hands outward in an attempt to grab the child by her wrist and hold them over her head to put a stop to her little dance once and for all. Had he succeeded in snatching her hands and bringing them over her head, he’d rear his neck back before throwing his head forward and ramming his forehead into her own with enough force to leave her seeing stars. Releasing his hold on her hands, Sentou wouldn’t even so much as wince having headbutted her, his head had hit much harder things. “Ya damn brat, why attack me if you didn’t send that challenge card?” He asked with a little aggression in his voice had he got her to sit still for a second. “I don’t have time to sit around and babysit some kid.” He finished, turning his back to her. Part of him was speaking the truth, while another half wished she would stand back up. She looked young, but if she displayed the tenacity to get back up and try again he wouldn’t be against the idea of entertaining this longer.

Haia being the youngest of many children was regarded as the princess among her brothers for several reasons. The first of these many reasons is that Haia was the only girl among the Hyuga head's five children and if that was not enough she was the youngest child. Given this, Haia was given lots of special treatment from not only her mother and their father but also her other siblings' mothers. The most noticeable special treatment to her siblings was she did not have to spar among them. This did not mean she was out of the race to become the successor of the Hyuga lord, it simply told that she could avoid the constant beatings that they all gave each other.
They did not know that Haia was constantly training, pushing herself, and gaining strength hidden in the shadows to usurp the spot from her brothers. Even if she did not become the Hyuga lord she would make herself a strong force within the clan that no one would look down upon. She acted like an innocent princess in front of her siblings and their mothers. The only ones in her family who had an idea were her father, mother, and her eldest brother. Her father and eldest brother both adored Haia as much as her mother thus she showed them both her actual nature which was that of a hardworking prodigy. She would practice her gentle fist within the forest alone, study each chakra point through medical books trying to understand how they affect the body rather than just understanding that she can strike them, she even sparred her father and elder brother with them punishing her
Haia's practice was coming together now as she saw this man's muscles move and flex as he was beginning to make his move. Her father trained her to react as fast as she could the moment her eyes picked up the movement of the man's leg muscles attempting to move in a way to strike her, Haia would raise her arm which was on the side that he was attempting to strike instead of continuing to strike at his body her arm would simply strike at his legs. Anyone who knew the Hyuga clan well would see it in this instance, the eight trigrams forming around Haia and this man known as Sentou. She would quickly and rapidly strike at his leg taking away his strength in that leg and striking it eight times before moving her strikes inward to strike at his side after doing a quick pivot around his leg to avoid the force of the strike left from allowing his momentum to continue. The next eight strikes would be in his blind spot from missing her as she used quick moments akin to body flicker to increase her speed and escape his sight aiming at his backside. These next eight strikes would be aimed at the arm on the same side as the leg he struck with followed by Haia quickly pivoting away and launching another vacuum palm at his back to push him away from her and gain distance should it have struck him. If he strikes failed or he attempted to counterattack once more Haia would be prepared to pivot away or to counter back at this man showing him the fruits of her labor and the strength of the Hyuga princess.
